I wouldn't say 'perfect' but he did have to up it since one side didn't work as well. My left leg was a rock, my right I could move.
No pain though.

I do have to say that the whole ordeal of getting the epi wasn't as pleasant as it was the first time. My DH said its because the first time I'dbeen in labor for 12 hrs vs 3. But, honestly, I hated how it made me feel this time.

The birth was lovely after though. :)

Mine was AMAZING!!! I was induced and i held out as long as possible but man that pitocin is no f-ing joke..i was screaming for them to give me an epidural lol my doctor said i would still feel "the ring of fire" and to just push thru it..i felt absolutely nothing..i pushed for 14 minutes and my LO was out :) i also was 10cm for almost an hour but held off from pushing as long as possible thanks to the epidural.

My epidural was amazing... i was induced... i wasnt progressing so my doctor let me go ahead and get the epidural at 1 1/2 centimeters, broke my water and i progressed from there!! I went from 4-10 centimeters in an hour and i'm a FTM

My epidural only worked on my left side. They came and redid it and I was fine until it was time to start pushing. Then I could start to feel the pain on my right side again. She was born shortly after.

My epidural was amazing. Got it at a 6 and it was smooth sailing from there:) Totally reduced my pushing time by allowing me stay at a 10 for about an hour, then when i felt like pushing he was out in 10 min:) I could feel my legs/thighs and my stomach the whole time, just the important parts were numb and I was up and walking as soon as my stitches were done. The nurses were even impressed at how fast I was up and about! Perfect epidural!
